Info:

The Prague Jewish Museum was founded in 1906 as the t i d of he Jewish Museums in the middle Europe (Vienna 1895, Frankfurt 1897).

The immediate impulse for its founding was the asanation of the Prague Jewish town that started in 1895. In 1906 there was important to save the rich inventory from the Cikánova and Velkodvorská synagogues intended for the demolition at that time.

The individuality of the Prague Jewish museum is in the fact, that from its founding it was aimed at the collection of the relics from Prague and Czech countries. These collections are now creating the ground for the creating representative collections and are also the exhibit of the historic, demographic and economic development of the different Jewish communities.
